Here is the background story: Last year we had 8-10 quail that visited our back yard on a regular basis. In late spring we discovered a nest full of eggs (15-20). My research showed that the mom would lay about an egg a day until she thought there were enough - can't imagine how she could sit on 20 eggs! Then she would begin to sit on the nest - while the male paced up and down on our fence, guarding the female. We left for the season - never saw any chicks. We are afraid that some predator did get at the nest. This year we have had just a few visits.
Note: I am not sure what happened - IRL the image is much darker - not faded as it looks here. Sorry...

The DP is a perfect fit for that image! Lovely card...I think quails are so neat - I used to see them race across the road at our cottage. :) Thanks for playing with my Amuing Challenge last week...I so appreciate it!
Lovely card! We've not got quails but we do have 2 pairs of blackbirds nesting in our garden! Really nice to see them building a nest and pulling up worms!
